Do you want anonymity, because then you probably want a VPN service. All the traffic from your personal VPN is tied to your instance which is owned by you. The traffic isn't being merged with anyone else.

If you want anonymity, you use Tor.

Well yeah, but if the choice is between a self-hosted VPN and and VPN service you should go with the latter.

No, if anonimity is a concern then you shouldn't be using a VPN at all. You should be using Tor. Anonimity should not be part of your evaluation of a VPN.
